Ratatouille Baked Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites, zucchini, eggplant and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the garlic is softened, about 1 more minute.
• Stir the tomatoes, beans (and their liquid) and 1/2 cup basil into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium low to maintain a gentle simmer. Make 8 wells in the sauce and crack 1 egg into each well; season each with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and top with the scallion greens and the remaining 1/2 cup basil. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Serve with the baguette.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees, with a large ovenproof skillet on center rack. Cut eggplants in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces (you should have 3 cups). Mince 3 garlic cloves. Remove skillet from oven; carefully add eggplants, tomatoes, peppers, thyme sprigs, minced garlic, capers, and oil (it will spatter). Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Roast, stirring twice, until eggplants are soft and tomatoes have burst and are beginning to char, about 15 minutes.
• Make 4 wells in mixture; crack 1 egg into each. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Roast, rotating halfway through, until whites are set but yolks are still soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand 3 minutes. Rub toast with remaining garlic clove; drizzle with oil. Serve eggs and ratatouille over toast, sprinkled with thyme.

Steps:

• Place a low-sided pan over medium heat. Add the tomato sauce and oregano and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the Ratatouille Grilled Vegetables.
• Use a spoon to create 4 craters, then crack an egg into each crater. Cover the pan and cook until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny, 8 to 10 minutes. Garnish with the fresh parsley and Parmesan and serve with grilled bread for dipping.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Season the zucchini, squash, bell pepper and onion with the olive oil and some salt and pepper. Grill until grill marks appear and the vegetables are slightly tender but still a little al dente, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into bite-size pieces.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place 3/4 cup ratatouille in each of four 2-cup ovenproof baking dishes set on a rimmed baking sheet. With the back of a large spoon, make 2 indentations in ratatouille in each dish. (Alternatively, place 3 cups ratatouille in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and make 8 indentations.) Crack 1 large egg into each indentation. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Bake until egg whites are set, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with toast if desired.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion, pepper, garlic and rosemary, then cook for 5 mins, stirring frequently, until the onion has softened. Add the aubergine and courgettes, then cook for 2 mins more.
• Add the tomatoes, then fill the can with water, swirl it around and tip into the pan. Bring to the boil, cover, then simmer for 40 mins, uncovering after 20 mins, until reduced and pulpy.
• Stir the vinegar into the ratatouille, then make 4 spaces for the eggs. Crack an egg into each hole and season with black pepper. Cover, then cook for 2-5 mins until set as softly or firmly as you like. Scatter over the basil and serve with some crusty bread to mop up the juices.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Cut the aubergine lengthways into long thin slices - once you have six slices, chop the remainder. Brush the slices very lightly with oil, place on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment and cook for 15 mins, turning once, until softened and pliable. Turn oven down to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the onions until softened. Stir in the chopped aubergine, the peppers, courgettes and garlic, and cook, stirring, for a few mins more. Tip in the tomatoes and a half a can of water, then stir in the bouillon, thyme and basil stalks. Cover and simmer for 20 mins or until tender. You can add up to half a can of water if the mixture is getting too dry. Stir through the basil leaves.
• If you are following our Healthy Diet Plan, set aside half of the ratatouille when it is ready - you'll need to chill this for our ratatouille pasta salad with rocket later in the week. If you're not following the plan, you can serve the extra ratatouille on the side or set it aside to enjoy for another meal.
• Beat the eggs with the yogurt, cheese and 1 tbsp water. Spoon the remaining ratatouille into a shallow ovenproof dish, top with the aubergine slices, then cover with the yogurt mixture and scatter with thyme. Bake for 10-15 mins until the topping is set and starting to colour. Serve with dressed rocket on the side.
